"The Year 2000" lyrics

What will this ol' world be like in the year 2000?
How old do you think you'll be in the year 2000?

Will there still, still be wars
I hope and I pray that they will cease to be
Look at the time we've wasted
This is one of the things that got the whole world in such a mess, a mess

What will this ol' world be like in the year 2000?
How old do you think you'll be in the year 2000?

Will people still, still be starving to death
I know there's enough food here for every man, woman, boy and girl
Will there be the same kind of people
Who call themselves the rulers, rulers of the world

What will this ol' world be like in the year 2000?
How old do you think you're gonna be in the year 2000?

Will there still be the same kind of people
Who call themselver the rulers, rulers of the world

What will this ol' world be like in the year 2000?
How old do you think you're gonna be in the year 2000?
La-da-da-da-da-da
La-da-da-da-da-da

Will there be hunger, sickness and pain
Will there be smoking, blow and cocaine
What will the world be like?
What will the world be like?

Will there be misery, toil and strife
Will there be loving, will there be life
What will the world be like?
What will the world be like?

Will there be people, will there be man
Will this be the promised land
What will the world be like, what will the world be like? (What will this ol' world be like in the year 2000?)
How old do you think you'll be in the year 2000?

La-da-da-da-da-da, la-da-da-da-da-da (What will this ol' world be like in the year 2000?)
How old do you think you'll be in the year 2000?
